Created: 31 May 2012

This saturday, June 2, the number of exiting fights comes on the line in the United States. The title fights will go on in the desert and on the West coast.

In Carson, California under of Golden Boy Promotion, 5 time WBC and IBF light-heavyweight world ex-champion Antonio Tarver will defend his IBO cruiserweight title against previous unbeaten Nigerian Lateef Kayode. The fight against experience and power- Tarver is 43, but Kayode looks like a big puncher- 14 ko's in 18 fights!

3 time WBA light-middleweight champion Austin Trout, previous unbeaten in 24 fights, will try to defend his title for 4-th time against Dominican Delvin Rodriguez, who had already one title shot in 2009, when in very close fight lost to Isaac Hlatshwayo from South Africa for vacant IBF welterweight title.

For vacant IBF bantamweight title will fight 23 years old Mexican Leo Santa Cruz, unbeaten in 20 fights with 1 draw against 33 years old South African southpaw Vusi Malinga, who fought for WBO title at the same division in 2009, but lost in the very first round to Hozumi Hasegawa of Japan.

In the middleweight 10-rounder 40 years old war-horse, 14-times welter and light-middleweight world ex-champion, Ronald "Winky" Wright will take on 28 years old, unbeaten in 26 fights with 20 ko's, Peter Quillin of Brooklyn. Looks like another hard night for craftsman Winky!

In Las Vegas, Nevada, 4 time world champion Beibut Shumenov of Kazakhstan will come on the ring for his 5-th defence of his WBA light-heavyweight title against Mexican Enrique Ornelas, who had his first title shot in 2010, when he fought for WBO super-middleweight title against German Robert Stieglitz, but lost in close decision.
